Good point Rhabbi.

I think there are just as many ignorant atheists and scientists as there are ignorant fundamentalist CHristians.

Ignorance is what the root word says, ignoring the senses and discoveries. I belive wholeheartedly in the Theory of evolution, becasue it makes sense and we can see it in operation all around us. And it doesn not preclude the operation of a supreme being, IMHO. It is still magical and amzing and wondrous as a lot of things in nature and the universe.

Atheists and some scientists ignore the operation of this magical force. The chemistry of attraction, The miracle and magic of birth, the prayer that is intuition. And I have had several events in my life that I cannot explain. I choose to belive they are messages from a supernatural force. But just like the Fundamentalist Christian closes his or her eyes to the meesages that say evoluytion is very real, the atheist closes his or her eyes to the very real possibility theat there are forces greater than we are, that are Super-natural.

Again, my humble opinion.
